NEWS YOU CAN USE FROM VANDYKE SOFTWARE® Who couldn't use some extra time at this very busy time of year? Well, to entice you to sample a few of the time-saving features in SecureCRT® 6.0 and SecureFX® 6.0, now in advanced beta release, this month's tips explore the drag-out tabs of SecureCRT 6.0 and true mirroring in SecureFX 6.0. To round out the issue, we have a reminder that forum discussion of new products is heating up, and some timely ideas for laptop security for tinsel-time travelers. Since it is the holiday season, here's a techie joke to lighten things up. Did you hear about the programmer they found passed out in his shower? He was holding a shampoo bottle with the instructions "Lather. Rinse. Repeat." ------------- 1. Tip: Moving Tabs In SecureCRT 6.0 -------------------------
-------------------------------------------------- Last month you read about the new tab operations in the SecureCRT 6.0 beta release, including the ability to send a tab out to a new window and to drag tabs between SecureCRT windows. We want to better acquaint you with the way they work, so that you are ready to capitalize on the time savings as soon as you start up the next beta release. To read the complete tip online, visit the VanDyke Software web support section. To download the most recent beta release of SecureCRT 6.0, visit the VanDyke Software beta pages. ------------------------------------------------------- If you transfer files, odds are that you have regular tasks to accomplish, such as copying log files, uploading data or reports, or maintaining a website. While Quick Synchronize has been around since SecureFX 1.6, beginning with version 6.0 "true" mirroring is available, where files can be deleted as well as created and updated. Mirroring allows you to automate what would otherwise be a tremendous amount of hand work. And mirroring can be fully automated using the SFXCL command-line utility. This month's tip walks you step by step through the process of mirroring files, using website maintenance as its example. Read the complete tip on mirroring with SecureFX 6.0. To download the most recent beta release of SecureFX 6.0, point your browser to the VanDyke Software beta pages. ------------------------------------------------------------------- With the SecureCRT and SecureFX 6.0 major upgrades in beta testing, activity is up on the VanDyke Software forums.

Join the VanDyke Software discussion forums today! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Strom, a writer on networks and security, shares in a November 24 Information Week piece his thoughts on ways to make sure your laptop is secure. Many are not obvious, and are good stuff for business travelers or home users, with varying focus from wireless networks to USB drives and hard drive encryption. As befits road-warrior technology, Secure Shell breaks onto the list at number 10: "Don't blithely accept SSL certificates and SSH public keys." If you're not sure how to evaluate public keys, perhaps it's time to review our host key white paper. You can read the complete Information Week article online. ---------------------------------------- The software development team has been busy since the last issue: not only did the beta 2 releases of SecureCRT 6.0 and SecureFX 6.0 go out Nov. 26, but also beta 3 (Dec. 6). All have bug fixes as well as changes to the U3 smart drive installers and SecureFX quick synchronize with delete. The 6.0 versions deliver increased productivity from user interface tools
and a high level of integration between the two applications. SecureCRT
adds the ability to move tabs in and out of a window, as well as a new
button bar to automate repeated tasks. SecureFX offers mirroring with
delete and an editable address bar. A combined installer for both clients
is now available, as well as a special installer for U3 smart drives. Here is a list of the latest
official product releases: SecureCRT 5.5.3 All VanDyke Software products may be downloaded and evaluated free for 30 days. Licenses include one year of free upgrades and access to our expert technical support.
